Yup, gotta be the hardware, I think...

Can't figure out any other reason right now that segmentation fault 11 errors AND panics occur. And when the make/make install is issued in /usr/ports for perl, it crashes almost immediately. Then another make will get it to go farther. Then another makes it farther. Then, unexpected errors occur.

Oh, well. I suppose I can waste time with my friends when this chore is done. Must get perl to work!
